Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Dr. Tarek Loubani, who is in Gaza right now, was invited to give a talk to emergency workers about the attacks on health care facilities in Gaza.

The US right is now divided into two factions: the moderates, who believe the New Deal was a horrible mistake, and the conservatives, who believe the Enlightenment was a horrible mistake. Trump's attack on the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the conservatives are winning.
